Terrific Fun and Thoughtful Too

Not only do I find myself wanting to jump in to the discussion about the choices the co-hosts make in crafting their adaptation pitch, I also find myself considering the movies in a new way and honing my thoughts about the strengths and weaknesses of each medium every week. Instantly has become a must-listen every week.
